Applying a Clear Finish to Your Deck

The natural beauty is what makes exterior wood so appealing. The best way to showcase this rich, warm appearance is by applying a clear wood finish, like Flood CWF® or CWF-UV®. A clear wood finish will enhance the wood's beauty and protect it from the harsh effects of moisture and sun damage.

What You Need:

CWF or CWF-UV Clear Wood Finish

Tarps, dropcloths, wiping rags

A brush, roller or airless sprayer

Soap and water

Doing The Job:

Be sure the wood is thoroughly clean and dry before applying any finish. For best results, use Dekswood.

Cover any areas you will not be treating, such as plants, shrubs and bushes, with a tarp or dropcloth.

Using a brush, roller, stain pad or an airless sprayer, apply one coat of the clear wood finish. Backbrush for better uniformity.

Wipe up or brush out any puddles to avoid shiny areas.

Allow 24-48 hours drying time.

Clean up all tools with soap and water.

Notes:  If wood is dry and absorbs the first coat quickly, apply a second coat while the wood is still wet from the first coat.  Allow new wood to weather for one year before using CWF or CWF-UV.  Remove any sealers, finishes or stains with PowerLift or StainStrip before applying CWF or CWF-UV.

Applying a Semi Solid Finish to your Deck

A clear wood finish can do plenty to enhance the natural beauty of your exterior wood. But after a few years, due to exposure to the sun, rain and time, the color of the wood may fade. Applying Flood Semi-Transparent Deck and Siding Stain to your exterior wood can revive it and make it look new longer by enhancing it with color. Floods Semi-Transparent Deck and Siding Stain penetrates deep into the wood for adhesion so superior, that its guaranteed not to peel or fade for 3 years on decks and 5 years on siding.

What You Need:

Tarps, dropcloths, wiping rags

A brush, roller, stain pad or airless sprayer

Soap and water

Doing The Job: (See notes below before you start.)

Be sure the wood is thoroughly clean and dry before applying any finish. For best results, use Dekswood.

Cover any areas you will not be treating, such as plants, shrubs, bushes, lights and doors, with a tarp or dropcloth.

Using a brush, roller, stain pad or an airless sprayer, apply one coat of the semi-transparent wood finish. Backbrush for better uniformity. A single coat should be enough for vertical surfaces. Apply a second coat on decks to protect them from heavy foot traffic.
